Just wanna know
By Mandilulur •
I'd just like to know why an oil change (lube, oil, filter) cost me 1300 QR and took 5 and a half hours where Jiffy Lube would cost $25 and take 29 minutes! Same service, including the wash.

One reasin I traded up to a KIA :)
we went to Hyundai Garage to change oil lube for our old bangers, they want it for minimum 3 days.
Then we goes to tayseer, only take less than 1 hour.
Don't tell me you are using this for your KIA?
The new Synthetic oil for Beemers, marketed by BMW is around 62 riyals per litrein Saudi...
Lol! Good one, MD. ;0)
It didn't took around 2 days.
In Qatar, more days of 'services' passes by, the more the payable amount increases. LOL

5 liters Shell 20 - 50 oil: QR 50, opening the bolt at the oil pan: QR 5, draining the oil, waiting: QR 15, removing the oil filter: QR 5, new oil filter: QR 40 - 100, applying some oil with the finger to the filter seal: QR 2, screwing the filter back in place (by hand): QR 5, fixing the bolt at the oil pan: QR 5, refilling engine oil: QR 15, closing all lids: QR 1, starting the engine and checking for leaks: QR 10 (takes some time). Total; between QR 153 and QR 208. Disposal of used engine oil: QR 1.000. I think you paid most for saving the environment, so, it's good money.
...take your car to Teyseer next time, for oil and filter wont cost you more than QR400.
That is too expensive.
*Bunga*
Oh, I have the invoice, the darn oil was almost 600 QR! Labor was 370. No wonder they took 5 and a half hours. Probably charged me mechanics' labor prices for the car wash.

the manager,,,and tell him about it....I wouldn't let it go by on jsut that,,I would want a full explanation,,,and then see what they say
Yeah ...
Mandi
unless they did a bunch of other stuff,,,you have a Land Rover?
Al Fardan Auto Service yesterday. Since it's on warranty I thought I'd better do service at the dealer.
Mandi
where did you go?? when?? I can tell you of several good shops...
Oh, so do I, Siddh! You should see the looks physicians give me when I ask how much a procedure will be in advance. And the dealer did give me an estimate beforehand for that price. But since I hadn't see a Jiffy Lube ... Hee, hee, Novi, Lamborghini! I feel decadent enough driving an SUV here. I'd never do that in the US.
Mandi
It all depends on the car and ofcourse the oil used. Some new synthetic oils are very expensive.
1300 QR????
I need my Valium again!
.
mandilulur !!! you never told me you driving a lamborghini ???
...for the services you mentioned. I hope you got the bill for that. You have the right to ask for a clarification.

Mandi...whether or in Qatar or in US or wherever, I always ask the charge for a service before I get it. At times (here in Canada) I have seen people looking at me in wonder for asking the price of a service, but it's my money & I decide how to spend it.....:)
was it too rude eh?
I think QR 1,300 is just too much..
Yup, Xena, from now on I'm buying the frickin' oil and filters and doing it myself! Used to do it for my Cessna, how hard can a car be?

Charging for their branded services centre. It looks more trust worth and efficient to be serviced at the manufacturers centre deemed to be original.
you took it to toyota service center? they do rob their customers....

Ma'am, for Lamborghini is very expensive!
QR 135 for the parts and my friend did it for free - taking it in to Suzuki would have probably cost the same... so I don't take my car there unless its absolutely neccessary.

there is no competition
one dealer deals with this brand.
u want it, u PAY for it!
They have to take advantage of your money as much as possible as because you earn more than plenty of people around here and you're humble to not ask for a discount. LOL

I thought that salaries for the mechanics was a bit higher in the US. And how much can an oil filter be?
Mandi
